Does anyone know a decent open source tool to edit PDF form fields (create them, assign a name, ...)?
Still not trustworthy. Works as advertised. Gains trust Changes app Steals data And I doubt that everybody always disables the internet connection while they use the app.
valid point, but this is not our intention. hold us accountable - shame us directly and reference this comment. sincerly, simon
Semi related: I have been looking far and wide for a tool that replicates Acrobat's /fill and sign/ feature, allowing me to fill out NON-form-fillable PDFs. Something where I can fill it out, save, and then open up later to edit and add/remove previous additions. Adobe as a business, their pushiness about creating an account and the fact that they bundle McAfee's shitware with Acrobat never sat well with me, so I'd l…
Does anyone know of a good way to tile large PDFs (i.e. split a single PDF into smaller pages)? Adobe reader only allows you to do this when printing and you can't save the tiled PDF as its own file.
Some time ago I had success with https://github.com/rrthomas/pdfjam for that purpose under Linux. It used to be included in the standard Debian repositories but that no longer seems to be the case which might mean it is an unmaintained project that has build issues. Worth trying though, if it builds on a modern system. It might also be worth trying if the PDF reader in a Chrome/Chromium can use its “pages per sheet”…

Or even fill the forms of the existing PDFs... I'm struggling with many PDF forms, usually from various government agencies. They all seem to require Adobe Reader and can't open them anywhere else. And the few that I can open and input the values have broken field calculation (for example they won't add values from field A and B into field C).
Preview doesn't show the values I put into the fields in Chrome.
Also kinda unrelated but also worth mentioning, if you have a PDF document with a version less than 1.7, opening and reexporting or even reprinting it in Preview.app as PDF will not actually manage to get you a document that's PDF1.7 or above.
I had to use postscript to do it.

> We modify your PDF files in your browser, no upload required. I can do all of this offline for free already with Acrobat or Preview.app on macOS. > We try to make up some of the cost that we pay for hosting this service by employing a small amount of ads on our website. Why?
And it's open source as well: https://github.com/torakiki/pdfsam
